The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints

Combat Tips

  • 1 of 7: As soon as Ja'Fazir talks to you and initiates the attack, run back outside.
  • 2 of 7: Wait next to the company hall door to see if Rana follows you out, and kill her quickly if she does. (If you instead let the guards take her down, the game may glitch and give you a 40-gold bounty.)
  • 3 of 7: When you go back inside, you'll find that Ja'Fazir is friendly to you again.
  • 4 of 7: If Rana hasn't seen you and followed you outside yet, make sure she does so now.
  • 5 of 7: After she's dead, go back inside and keep Ja'Fazir between you and Geel so that Geel will kill Ja'Fazir for you.
  • 6 of 7: Then quickly kill off Geel to finish off the downstairs combats.
  • 7 of 7: Or if that takes too long, kill Geel and then Ja'Fazir.
